Season 13 starts tonight, wondering if any of you still watch it. I think it beats Survivor as my favorite reality show.

The racers:
Terence & Sarah - Dating http://wwwimage.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race/images/content/cast/1TerenceSarah.jpg

Marisa & Brooke - Best friends http://wwwimage.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race/images/content/cast/2MarisaBrooke.jpg

Andrew & Dan - Frat brothers http://wwwimage.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race/images/content/cast/3AndrewDan.jpg

Aja & Ty - Long-distance dating http://wwwimage.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race/images/content/cast/4AjaTy.jpg

Mark & Bill - Friends http://wwwimage.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race/images/content/cast/5MarkBill.jpg

Toni & Dallas - Mother/Son http://wwwimage.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race/images/content/cast/6ToniDallas.jpg

Nick & Starr - Brother/Sister http://wwwimage.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race/images/content/cast/7NickStarr.jpg

Anita & Arthur - Married http://wwwimage.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race/images/content/cast/8AnitaArthur.jpg

Kelly & Christy - Best friends http://wwwimage.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race/images/content/cast/9KellyChristy.jpg

Ken & Tina - Married http://wwwimage.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race/images/content/cast/10KenTina.jpg

Anthony & Stephanie - Dating http://wwwimage.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race/images/content/cast/11AnthonyStephanie.jpg

My early favorite is probably Nick & Starr or Terence & Sarah. If Toni can keep up with Dallas they could be up there as well. I could be completely wrong, who knows.
First to go? Maybe Mark & Bill

Starr is pretty darn hot. Love it.

Great episode so far too.

Have you seen that show on CBS called 'The Amazing Race'? Is that show about white people?

lindZ629

09/28/08, 05:51 PM

Dallas is so very hot. Mark & Bill are smart, but not in shape at all. I don't think they'll last long. Terence & Sarah's bickering will just kill them in the end.

There's a black couple.

I've always enjoyed the little that I've seen of this show, no more than three or four episodes. Too bad it's on against the Eagles game.

I'm pretty sure Anita and Arthur didn't know they were in an actual race.

Also, that Sarah girl might be the dumbest person I've ever seen in my life. Her comment in the preview for next week proves how mental she is.
I probably would've liked Anita & Arthur a lot, which is a shame.

You mean the "they didn't say hi to us" comment? That cracked me up.

Yep. That one. That girl is seriously a demented person. I hope they last a bit because both of them seem like complete weirdies.

They're eventually going to kill each other. Their personalities are way too different for anything good to come out on this race. It should be entertaining.

You're right. But seriously, wait and watch this girl because I'm tell you she's not normal.

He does Survivor. Phil does this show. I love Phil. I hear we get to meet his father this season in one of the countries they visit.

Oh yeah she's obviously not normal at all. I want to be friends with everyone on this race! Why didn't you guys say hi to me???
He does Survivor. Phil does this show. I love Phil. I hear we get to meet his father this season in one of the countries they visit.
That would be awesome. Phil and his dad should do a leg of the race, show everyone how it's done.

Wow my picks were pretty money. That is all.

I picked Nick and Starr to win from the beginning, so I was stoked to see them win. No one deserved it more than them.

nick and starr pissed me off so damn much. they were the best team but they were huge assholes. and i cannot believe the frat boys made it as far as they did.

12/09/08, 10:35 AM

I wanted Toni and Dallas to win from the start, but if there was any team that really deserved it, it was Nick & Starr. I didn't mind them at all, they were cocky, but that's because they were virtually unbeatable.
i always figured toni's age/slight physical limitations stemming from age would be what did them in. little did i know it would be her son being dumb as bricks.

Toni definitely held her own on the race, considering Dallas is much younger and much more athletic. I loved the cameraman's shot of the bag in the taxi, but decided to do nothing about it. They couldn't even make it back in time to see the three teams run to the finish mat.

yeah i was surprised at how well she did. i mean, she's not old, but the stress of that would be a lot for anyone over the age of say 35-40.

i am sure they are not allowed to intervene in any way, but damn, his passport...i wonder how long it took him to get back to the states.

02/14/09, 01:23 PM

New season starts tomorrow.

Amanda & Kris - Dating
Brad & Victoria - Married
Cara & Jaime - Friends
Christie & Jodi - Friends
Jennifer & Preston - Dating
Lakisha & Jennifer - Sisters
Linda & Steve - Married
Margie & Luke - Mother/Son (deaf)
Mark & Michael - Brothers
Mel & Mike - Father/Son
Tammy & Victor - Siblings

First out? Linda & Steve
Winners? One of the dating couples, or maybe Cara & Jaime can swoop in there and be the first all female winners.

Watched it this morning and finally finished last seasons finale as well.

Loved seeing Mike White. I freaked out. Hope he makes it far. And I really liked Margie and Luke. My sister is deaf so I can relate to them a lot and they did very well. Hope that continues.

The premiere was actually really great last night. So far I really like Margie and Luke and Mel and Mike.

The new season has been pretty awesome so far. Wasn't much of a fan of the last one because of the people.
Mike and Mel, the deaf dude couple and the red heads are my favourites. Victor and his sister are annoying as shit.
I think most of the annoyingness comes from Victor, Tammy seems alright. I'm with you on those other 3 teams, I love the alliance between Margie & Luke and the red heads, and Mel & Mike are just fun to watch. None of the teams really bother me too much, there's some I don't care for, but there's none I truly dislike.

Agreed about Victor. I especially hated when he thought he was so right about the trail they were on, and he almost cost them the race.

Mel and Mike are my favorites, but Margie and Luke make a really great team.

drudo182

03/17/09, 10:19 PM

Solid season so far. Love Margie and Luke and Mel and Mike. The cheerleaders aren't bad. One of them is beautiful.

Flight attendants aren't bad either and I like Victor and Tammy quite a bit too. Only team I don't care for are the midget brothers.

tammy and victor made themselves really untrustworthy. still, they're asian so i'm rooting for em. lol

03/24/09, 10:26 AM

Yeah it's a shame there's not too much interest. Easily one of the best reality shows on right now. Survivor's good as long as the contestants have some personality otherwise it's kind of stale. With The Amazing Race it's more about the locations, and they have plenty of options.

Annoying about mike and mel leaving. also it looks like margie and luke have to leave the competition. they were the only team not shown in next weeks preview :(

I'm sad that Mike and Mel left, too. They were my favorite team, and it sucks that they didn't at least make it to the final three.
Also, I can't remember not seeing Margie and Luke in the preview. Hopefully they'll still be there despite what happened on the last show.

lindZ629

04/12/09, 04:19 PM

It's back on tonight and I finally saw Margie & Luke in one of the previews for a brief second.

02/14/10, 06:03 PM

We need two tickets to China <3 Jordan
Everywhere like the Iraq such as.

If these two teams make it far, this is going to be one enjoyable season.

drudo182

02/14/10, 06:04 PM

not a bad premiere. the couple that left seemed nice enough. not too attached to anyone yet so hopefully that changes

lindZ629

02/14/10, 06:07 PM

I'm only really attached to Jeff and Jordan at this point, but for the most part it seems like a good cast, pretty diverse too.

I'm starting to like them a lot, too. I'm sure they'll get far just as long as they don't make another mistake like they did last week with the money.

I couldn't stand the guy. He was such a dickwad but at least they weren't pissed when they were eliminated.

This. But I kind of wished the lesbians would have been eliminated. It seems like they do nothing but complain.

I need J&J to stay in the race for awhile, which means they'll probably be out next. Jordan's ?????? comment and Jeff's gun in the mouth made the episode for me.

I stopped watching after Jeff and Jordan got kicked off. and I watch entirely WAY too much tv. What happened the past two weeks? who's gone now? who's in the lead? :)

Last week, no one got eliminated but the Cowboys got last. They ended up in first this week, the first team ever to have to complete a speed bump and somehow still manage to get 1st.

The father/daughter team got out last night.

Here is where they ended up Sunday.

1. Jet & Cord
2. Carol & Brandy
3. Louie & Michael
4. Brent & Caitie
5. Dan & Jordan

04/05/10, 05:00 PM

The Cowboys continue to impress me. This is what the second time they went from last to first, plus they had to complete the Speed Bump. No clue how they arrived at the flag detour first.

cirerelleum

04/05/10, 05:10 PM

I don't think I've ever liked so much of a cast this late in the game. I like the models, cowboys, and detectives. I never like 3 out of five teams. The brothers annoy me sooo saying "COME ON, BRO!" about 50 times an episode. And the lesbians are just mean. They gotta go, stat.

*crying stars*

04/05/10, 05:12 PM

The cowboys are so sweet. They had no idea what coconuts were in last Sunday's episode, hahaha.

EDIT: I don't really like the guy model, but the girl model seems nice enough. Both are a little whiny, but the lesbians are not good fun. And the brothers are irritating also.

lindZ629

04/05/10, 05:17 PM

Looks like the "dumb" models might be the cause of the lesbians' downfall. Can't wait to watch that. One of my most hated teams in the history of the race.

drudo182

04/05/10, 05:18 PM

I enjoy every team but the lesbians. Those two are awful. Looks like they really get pissed off next week.

I assume the models give them a detour or something.

10/04/10, 10:27 PM

Anyone else watching the season? The first episode was awesome, my favorites are Team Glee, followed by Nat and Kat. I didn't expect to like Brooke and Claire but they've done really well the past two episodes, I was impressed when Claire finished the roadblock even after the watermelon hit her in the face. The only team I really don't like is Chad and Stephanie who kept arguing the first episode, but they were ok yesterday.
